Download Under New Management: How Leading Organizations Are Upending Business as Usual AudioBook Free
A provocative work that issues the traditional and greatly accepted principles of business management - and shows they are outdated, outmoded, or just don't work. Do open up floor plans actually work? Is there companies that put their employees' welfare first and their clients second? Are annual performance reviews necessary? Dr. David Burkus is an extremely regarded and ever more influential business university professor who issues many of the established principles of business management. Sketching on generations of research, Burkus has discovered that not only are quite a few fundamental management practices wrong and misguided, nonetheless they can be downright counterproductive. These days, the best companies are breaking the old guidelines. At some companies, email is currently restricted to certain hours, so employees can work without distraction. Netflix no more has a typical vacation insurance plan of 2-3 weeks but instructs employees to take time off when they feel they want it. And at Valve Software, there are no professionals; the employees govern themselves. The revolutionary insights Burkus shows here will convince companies to leave behind decades-old management practices and implement new ways to enhance efficiency and morale.
